I don't understand this at all. Presumably any injury caused by anthing could have been prevented in some way.
If a ped gets hit by a car and bumps their head, and we feel that their head injury could have been prevented by wearing a helmet, why does the same not apply?
The cyclist could have chosen not to cycle on the road, thus avoiding being hit, does this mean that he is contributing to any injury they incur at all.
Surely the responsibility for preventing injury lies with the stupid ass who caused the accident. I find that the best way to prevent cyclist injuries is to NOT HIT CYCLISTS WITH MOTOR VEHICLES.
it aint rocket science.
